#48KMarch to Jerusalem triggers deadly clashes

Thousands marched from Ramallah to Jerusalem Thursday in attempt to break through the Israeli Qalandia checkpoint to pray at the Al Aqsa mosque. Reports say two Palestinians have been killed during clashes between protesters and police. Clashes also erupted in occupied East Jerusalem. Palestinians are using hashtag #48KMarch to comment and share images on the ground.

Tonight Muslims are commemorating Laylat al-Qadr, a night considered by many to be the holiest of the year. Demonstrators wanted to pray for loved ones killed during the recent Israeli offensive in Gaza. An Al Jazeera correspondent said Israeli police prevented Palestinians under 50 from praying at Al Aqsa.
